• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW050 - Append contains time-dependent attributes only; insertion not permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW050 indicates that there is an issue with the data being inserted into a DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to append data that contains only time-dependent attributes, which is not allowed in certain contexts.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to insert data into a DSO or InfoProvider that is not configured to handle time-dependent attributes.
  The data being appended consists solely of attributes that are time-dependent, meaning they change over time and are typically associated with a time dimension.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Data Structure:
  
  Ensure that the data you are trying to append includes key figures or non-time-dependent attributes. If the data consists only of time-dependent attributes, you may need to modify your data extraction or transformation process to include relevant key figures or attributes.
  
  
  
  Modify Data Flow:
  
  If your data source is designed to provide only time-dependent attributes, you may need to adjust your data flow to include additional attributes or key figures that are not time-dependent.
  
  
  
  Use Time-Dependent Data Appropriately:
  
  If you need to work with time-dependent attributes, ensure that you are using the correct type of InfoProvider that supports time-dependent data, such as a time-dependent DSO or a MultiProvider that can handle such data.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Review the data model and ensure that the InfoObjects and InfoProviders are correctly set up to handle the types of data you are working with. This may involve checking the settings for time-dependent attributes in the InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling time-dependent attributes and the requirements for the InfoProviders you are using.

  InfoObjects: Understand the difference between time-dependent and non-time-dependent attributes in SAP BW.
  DataStore Objects (DSOs): Familiarize yourself with the types of DSOs and their configurations, especially regarding time-dependent data.
  Data Modeling: Review best practices for data modeling in SAP BW, particularly when dealing with time-dependent data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RSQBW050 error and successfully manage your data in SAP BW.
